Don't worry, this isn't a Flash question. :) I've been working in ActionScript 2 this past week, working with our Flash guy on a remoting ecommerce application, and one thing that has struck me is how quickly I jumped into the OO aspect of it. Working in CF can really spoil you sometimes, since it's not strictly OO, and since most of us start out learning CF procedurally, we may not even recognize when we're being bad. While you can work in AS2 procedurally, it's strongly discouraged, and since I want to get better at this OO thing anyway, I started right away coding classes, dispatching and delegating events, encapsulating, trying different patterns and just generally getting my hands dirty. It helps that someone else is doing the interface (and is as excited about discovering these new things as I am.) This is one of those things where learning more than one language can help not only in your job prospects, but your general understanding of things; I've been able to take all the OO principles I've learned doing CF and immediately apply them to AS.
